Need Training Advice

Friends,
We have serious problems. You see, we've been having many outdoor events lately because of the gorgeous pug friendly weather. Mom likes to take me to those events. Last sunday the Pug Club of South Florida organized their Annual Pug Picnic.

The park was a little far away from home. There were other events going on in our city this past weekend, like the Boat Show and the Art Festival, but mom chose to attend the Pug Picnic first.

I have been working very hard all this years to achieve perfection in training. An example: Mom got an icee for dad and he accidentally dropped some on the floor, therefore I cleaned the floor (see pictures below).












This looks like a trained specimen, right?

Could you believe he said that he had attended to enough pug events for the whole year already? He even said that mom's vehicle was a kennel, not a car. After all this years of devoted love, of teaching him how an indoor dog enriches the life of human beings, that waking up to a pug whine or even a kiss in bed brings joy and smiles, after teaching him the importance of a couple of drops of olive oil in the pug's food to begin the day with hope and happiness, after he had taken advantage of my dish and silverware pre-wash capabilities, after all this years of training... What am I supposed to do?

Oh, dear, Coco, we feel your pain. Sometimes parents just don't understand. We try and we try and yet somehow they still want to do their own thing and not always want to do pug things. We don't get it either.

Oh Coco, cutie! I know your Daddy loves you. Sometimes daddies just don't love us the same way our mommies do! My momma says men are hard to train... just keep showing him love. He'll come around!

This might need a trainer like DR. Phil. I think you need to call in a professional!

i suggest more farts. the more farts you produce, the more the humans want you OUT of the house and in places with better venitlation (although this does not include the car - try to keep it together while en route).

Coco, this here is your good pal Howie. Now, Aunty Rachel makes a good point. Yew need to do sum male bonding with the dad, clearly, and fartin is just one of those activities you two can do together whereever and whenever and get so much enjoyment out of it.

Awww, sorry he's not very empathetic to your puggie needs. Surely you will win over his cold, hard heart some day!

Hi Coco
I bet your dad is just trying to be a tuff guy and he does not really mean all he is saying. Sometimes dads don't like to show their sensitiviy and affection. But I betcha undeneath it all- he does not feel that way at all- and could possibly have a tender heart- but if not- do what the crowd says and go fart!
And if that does not work- make him wash his own dish!
love

Coco, It is always the mommys that give everything for their babies. The daddy's just do what the mommy's say!!
